I am not always prepared for what life brings me. There have been many ups and downs. However no matter what the circumstances may be, the only choice I have is to accept things as they are, and go with the flow. If things aren’t what I want them to be, I must take more action towards the solution. I do need to be aware of how I am moving towards what I am striving to achieve. My intetions of what I am trying to achieve must be based in truth and honesty, in their purpose of my wants. We are taught that we have to accept what God wants me to have, but I don’t think that what we want is out of line, with God’s, but only that my actions in trying to move towads those wants are misaligned. If fear, dishonesty, selfishness, and self seeking are sincerely reviewed, and self seeking is rooted in bettering our lives so that we can live a more purposeful and productive life, so we can better serve our fellows by not being a burdon, we are living in the spirit of the 7th tradition, to be fully self supporting on our own. Unfortunate that we can’t totally be selfless but we must live life on the terms that the world deems us to live by. We can be spiritual and still have wants that serve to better ourselves.

There is no greater truth than learning how to love and be loved, it’s priceless. So many of us have a struggle when it comes to loving without expectations. If I say I love you, is there something attached to that, do I expect the “I love you” back? Are there motives behind the statement, is it honest, or just something to say. I say “I love you” almost always, the reason behind it, is because 3 years ago, I wasn’t sure I would have an opportunity to say it to anyone again. That feeling was frighting, thinking that I have missed the moment to say to those I care for, that they are in my heart. The essense of the 12th step is loving without conditions, and to show it in words and actions. So I truly have love in my heart for all of you, and I pray everyday that I learn to love, to be loved and to find the love in my heart. No greater love than the love of the Power of God’s love that he has shown me, than giving me the truth that you bring me.
